Скачать или смотреть Derico Nwamama: The Terror of Onitsha | Nigeria’s Most Feared Criminal | True Crime Documentary

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, fear was not a rumor — it was reality.
This is the true story of Derico Nwamama, the young man who grew from a troubled street boy into one of the most feared criminals in Nigerian history.

For months, residents of Onitsha and surrounding towns lived under terror.
Roads became battlegrounds.
Travelers prayed before moving.
Families slept with fear in their hearts.
Even the police struggled to confront the rising wave of violence.

And then, a turning point —
when a community, pushed to the edge, called on the Bakassi Boys, one of the most controversial vigilante forces in Africa’s history.
Their mission was simple: end the terror by any means necessary.
